Intramolecular H-atom transfer to peroxy radicals

In preceding sections, we have noted that styrene gives some epoxide during oxidation (Sect. 3.2) and that 2,4-dimethylpentane gives mostly

The one citation for a n-alkane shows a very large value for Es possibly n -alkanes will not exhibit much difference in E between 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-center processes owing to lack of side-chain interactions in fact, data cited below in connection with ring closures suggest that very little, if any,
